Border Agents Rescue Stranded Illegal Aliens with Black Hawk Helicopter

EDINBURG, TX – A UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter from the Border Patrol's McAllen Air and Marine Branch of Air and Marine Operations (AMO) rescued six illegal aliens that were stuck on a remote peninsula after illegally entering the United States. 

Wednesday, a McAllen Air Branch based Black Hawk crew spotted a group of six illegal aliens, three infants and three adults, in distress in a Resaca near McAllen, Texas. Due to no access roads, and the apparent fatigue of the group, the crew elected to find the safest landing area and move to a low hover and deploy an AMO Aviation Enforcement Agent and two Office of Field Operations Special Response Team personnel.

The agents and officers used a crash axe to widen a landing zone, which allowed the crew to make a one-wheel landing. The deployed personnel assisted the migrants to the Black Hawk, and they were safely flown to the levee and handed over to US Border Patrol agents.

All subjects will be processed accordingly.

These illegal crossings could be completely stopped in under 30 minutes. For the entire length of our Texas border, if the governor would declare a State emergency, based on the illegal entry and for the health and human safety concerns of Texas citizens, declare that entire border area a free fire zone for law enforcement and our National Guardsmen on duty there, to stop all entry by crossing over the border. Several bodies floating down the River would send the message loud and clear to those considering this.

"... are you one of those that mailed in about 30 dozen votes from names you copied off a tombstone out at Fairmont Cemetary ??"

Moronic, but consistent.

I guess this is her way of saying that those who believed her are idiots.  I would certainly agree.
